The tetraspanin protein, CD9, is expressed by progenitor cells committed to oligodendrogenesis and is linked to β1 integrin, CD81, and Tspan‐2

Abstract excerpt
Previous studies identified the tetraspanin protein CD9 in myelinating oligodendrocytes. The present report extends these observations by identifying CD9 in a subpopulation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and in premyelinating oligodendrocytes in rodents. NG2-positive cells expressed CD9 in a temporal and spatial pattern during development that was consistent with CD9 expression in OPCs just prior to...
